how to expand an ini-file in perl

I need to expand an INI-file in perl. I have a given INI-File that I can read with Config::IniFiles, but I need to add parameters to that INI file too.

For example the file looks like

[section1]
param1=val1
param2=val2

[section2]
param1=val3
param2=val4

and i need to add params to the sections like

[section1]
param1=val1
param2=val2
param3=val5

[section2]
param1=val3
param2=val4
param3=val6

I don't know if there is a Module for that in CPAN. Didn't find one until now that would do the Job. Thank you for any ideas to solve this problem!

Config::IniFiles allows to add parameters in sections: see newval

    #!/usr/bin/perl

    use Config::IniFiles;
    my $cfg = new Config::IniFiles( -file => "cfg.ini" );

    $cfg->newval("section1", "param3", "val5");
    # add all new values in corresponding sections ...
    $cfg->RewriteConfig;

Read also the section BUGS for RewriteConfig.
